About This File
Data breaches have become a common occurrence, and the reality of the problem is much worse than current perceptions, because the general population is only aware of publicly disclosed breaches. It is not aware of the multitudes of breaches that either are not under any disclosure mandate, or breaches that have not yet been detected. The latter category is a very large number, since most research shows that it can take months or even years before an organization detects a breach.
